;) hey all  iv been asked to figure out  how to make a google video show up in a post on chatter, i maybe wrong but im thinking they are mp4 video's ?

can anyone point me in the right direction to a thread  here, or maybe  guide me through it.  any help is appreciated.  johnny/jj

this is the video i need to know how to configure to play on chatter.

http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-6810776130880750715&ei=4IE5S4T4A6L6rAKGtfW9BQ&q=egg+farm+egg+washing+video&hl=en&client=firefox-a#

and im guessing this would need to be changed from html to ?
<embed id=VideoPlayback src=http://video.google.com/googleplayer.swf?docid=-6810776130880750715&hl=en&fs=true style=width:400px;height:326px allowFullScreen=true allowScriptAccess=always type=application/x-shockwave-flash> </embed>

Hi Johnny,

No, they are Flash files (SWF files).

1. Copy the SWF file URL from the embed code. It starts with http and ends before the first & character:

http://video.google.com/googleplayer.swf?docid=-6810776130880750715


2. Put it inside flash - /flash tags, with the required image size. Usually the aspect ratio is 4:3, and for YouTube and Google the controls are external to the image. So add on another 25 (for YouTube) or 26 (for Google) to the height for the controls.

Here I set the image size to 600 x 450 (ratio 4:3), and added on 26 to make 600,476 in the Flash tag.

The code in your post then looks like this (try copying and pasting it into your own post):

[flash=600,476]http://video.google.com/googleplayer.swf?docid=-6810776130880750715[/flash]


And here is the result below.

p.s. if you need to edit the post later, always click Preview first, then scroll down and make your edits.
 




regards,

Martin.

Hi Johnny,

I posted the instructions for your Google video, but to see those caged chickens was a bit upsetting. In the EU a ban on caged-hen egg production comes into force in 2012. Most UK supermarkets have now stopped selling eggs from caged hens.

regards,

Martin.

I didn't like those either Martin, air conditioning or no air conditioning. I turned it off after the first few frames of the chicken shed.

oh yeah i forgot to mention, im with you guys on the caged birds, for egg or meat prodution.   i do keep my birds up but its for there own safety. to many preditors around our place, hawks, cyotes, dogs cats, you name it.

we keep our birds in a coop 8x6 with laying boxes and they have an outside run, chain link fence with the top also covered.

Hi Johnny,

Looks good, but if you add on 26 to make that 600,476 you won't have the black bars at the side:

[flash=600,476]http://video.google.com/googleplayer.swf?docid=-4593947958017380938[/flash]






regards,

Martin.
